Hi,
I mainly use ANT as build tools (to replace make).  My question is whether
there are people using it as cross-platform "startup" script?
I don't see many people doing it.

I saw there is <java> task in the core task manual.  Can we use ANT to write
cross-platform startup scripts for java applications?
pros and cons?

thanks.
